Somebody let us know what he decided to do! He's looking at what, a couple million signing bonus? I still say stay at Vandy!

He's quoted in the Knoxville News-Sentinel this morning as saying that he's leaning towards signing with the Twins. He expects to be playing rookie ball in Florida in 3 weeks.

 

Honestly, that seems to be the right decision for him. The money is just too great to turn down, and he will get an education annuity as a part of his contract.

 

It's a win/win for him and the Twins.

gradfromthenest... this is the first time i strongly disagree with you... your statement put me over the edge and forced me to buy a star for $12.... this is not an attack but why would you turn down 1-1.5 mil to go to college... think about this... it has been his dream his whole life to play pro baseball and he is getting the chance and making a lot of money... he can always go back and get an education if it doesnt work out. Most people go to college to learn and train for a job, but in his case, he is getting that job so why should he go to vandy... i understand if he wasnt getting much of a signing bonus but he is..... let me say this again... it is not an attack on you. it is just the completely opposite opinion..

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
